FLORICULTURAL CALENDAR FOR OCTOBER. 



Plant stove. — Plants of Cactuses that have been kept in the open air or 

 greenhouse, now put into the stove, will bloom immediately. 



Grp.enhouse-pi.ants. — Those plants that were removed into the greenhouse 

 last month should have plenty of air given them every mild day; but the 

 lights should be close shut up at night, also when cold, damp, wet, or other bad 

 weather prevails, excepting a little at the doors about the middle of the day. 

 The. plants should not be watered in the broad cast manner, as it is termed, 

 but should be attended to singly, so that no plant may be watered, but what is 

 actually dry. To water in the evening is detrimental to the plants, and ought 

 to be avoided. Camellias, if wanted to flower early, should now be placed in a 

 stove. 



Flower garden. &c. — Auriculas must now be removed to their winter 

 quarters and all dead leaves picked off. Carnation layers potted off should be 

 placed for protection during winter. Offsets of the herbaceous kinds of Calce- 

 olarias in beds or borders should now be potted off. Cuttings of all green- 

 house plants that have been grown in the open border, in beds, &c, such as 

 Heliotropes, Geraniums, shrubby Calceolarias, should be taken off as early as 

 possible in the month, and be struck in heat, in order to have a supply of beds, 

 &c, the next year. Hyacinths and other bulbs should be potted early in the 

 month for forcing. Seeds of Schizanthus, Stocks, Salpiglossis, and similar 

 kinds of plants wanted to bloom early next season, should be sown the first 

 week in the month in pots, and be kept from frost during winter. Perennial 

 and biennial flowers may be divided, and planted off where intended to bloom 

 next year. A cover of soil round the roots should be given to Dahlias, lest a 

 sudden frost coming should injure the crown buds. Seeds of all kinds of flowers 

 not yet gathered should be collected early in the month, or they will be liable to 

 injury by frost. Seeds of most annuals, to bloom early and vigorously, should be 

 sown immediately in the open borders.
